Weather *Is a term that encompasses phenomena in the atmosphere of a planet. *It is also normally taken to mean the activity of these phenomena over short periods of time usually no more than a few days.

To produce a short-range forecast is indeed a big task involving the four steps. Included in these are:ObservationCollection and Transmission of Weather DataPlotting and Analysis of Weather DataPrognosis or Forecast

*From the weather patterns, a number of methods are used to know the future state of atmosphere, a job called weather forecasting.

WHAT IS A WEATHER
FORECAST? (weather forecasting)
![Page 6: Weather: my report in earth science](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5455ada8b1af9f37608b4979/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A weather forecasting is
simply a scientific
estimate of future weather
condition.

*Weather condition is the state of the atmosphere at a given time expressed in terms of the most significant weather variables. *The significant weather variables being forecast differ from place to place.

HOW IS A WEATHER FORECAST
MADE?
![Page 9: Weather: my report in earth science](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5455ada8b1af9f37608b4979/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
*In forecasting the weather, a Meteorologist must at least know something about the existing weather condition over a large area before he can make a reliable forecast. *The accuracy of his forecast depends largely upon his knowledge of the prevailing weather conditions over a very wide area.

*The forecast decision is based on various forecasting tools. *The basic tool of weather forecaster is the WEATHER MAP.
![Page 11: Weather: my report in earth science](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5455ada8b1af9f37608b4979/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
*The WEATHER MAP depicts the distribution patterns of atmospheric pressure, wind, temperature and humidity at the different levels of the atmosphere. *There are two types of the basic weather map namely: the surface map and the upper – air maps.

Five standard level/steps of the upper air maps that are constructed twice daily at twelve -hourly interval.

*The surface maps are made four times daily at twelve- hourly interval. The distribution patterns of rain or other forms of precipitation and cloudiness can also be delineated.

Numerical Weather
Prediction*Is the science of predicting the weather using “models” of the atmosphere and computational techniques.
